"We went on a Saturday afternoon and while there was no wait everything else was not up to standard. Parking is a mess. There is no parking. It seems like it is just a lot and people park anyway they can get in. When we entered no one was at the hostess counter then some lady came from the dining area to see what was going on and her demeanor was not good. In the dining area they had a dj playing the music too loud and then he was talking to interact with the guests. I wouldve preferred a playlis … – show"

Food was great. We had a long wait to take our oder and for the food to come out. I wish the foos was hotter. Some was some was not. But I think they are working to make things better. Good atmosphere. I will visit again when I'm in the city.

First time trying out the restaurant today. Was excited, vibe was good but left after waiting on food for an hour. Server was NOT attentive to us nor the couple next to us. They were just lucky to at least get their food! Understand busy times but that's when you pay more attention. Arrived at 3:19 and left at 4:10

Our waitress took our drink order, delivered them then took a 30 minute break!! No one checked on us nor took our food order! She said that someone else should have waited on us while she was on break!!! When she finally came off of her break, we were upset because people who came in after us were getting their food and we had not even ordered!! By the time we got our food, nobody was in the mood to eat!!

"I have ordered cookies from Tameka for years, first as a pharmaceutical rep and most recently, as a customer myself. I took my exchange student by the bakery a couple of times and she also agreed that the treats from Butteriffic are the best she has ever tasted. Physicians from the mid-south area, exchange students from all over the world, and regular every people agree that you could go to the ends of the earth and still not find a cookie as good as you will get from this family. The treats are infused with Butteriffic love. Run down there and sample ALL the delicious treats."

"Deserves every star! You pull up to and a valet attendant asks would you like to use valet and you just hand them your keys. Walking inside you're greeted by who seemed to be the manager or owner, very nice gentleman who also thanked us for coming and asked how everything was when we were leaving. I'd made reservations for my mother's birthday dinner for a Thursday evening August 18, 2022. The restaurant was clean, cool and had a great atmosphere. Lots of smiling staff and they all speak to you walking in and out. We got a watermelon and a blueberry martini; shared the ocean flight appetizer; each got a flight of chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits and the lamb ribeye; shared the southern flight dessert and we were both so full. Had a few leftovers and our waitress, maybe her name was Kaitlyn (soooo sweet and knowledgeable), asked if we'd like for her to put it in a to-go for us. That was nice too. When she brought the check, she asked if we did the valet for our vehicle. When I paid our vehicle was parked at the curb waiting. We will definitely be back. It is a dining experience!"

"my wife and I went through memphis for a good vegan breakfast. I have seen many good reviews, so we have ordered the vegan pancakes along with some other food. I was almost halfway through one of the pancakes when I started to taste some ivory and the texture was out. I spit out everything and found chicken in my pancake! it is not as if it accidentally fell into the box, the chicken was cooked in the dough of the pancakes. when we made it, the chef refused to take his debt. we believe they all cook their food on the same grill; there were probably chickens on the grill and they just put the pancake battery on the head. I don't suggest this place for any vegan."

"The food was delicious. Service was good. Ambience was great. I was disappointed because I came for my birthday dinner and was so excited to try the osso bucco and they were out. Incredibly disappointing. Also, they provide menu pricing for their wines and beer, but not for their cocktails, which is a head-scratcher to me. We received our bill and had been charged $16 for a tiny Manhattan. Iâve never had a drink that expensive anywhere. A bit much, in my opinion. Iâve tried numerous nice restaurants in Memphis, and Iâve never paid that much for one cocktail."

"Quality not what it used to be. A year ago or so I wrote a reviewing liking this location. We got our usual to go this time (much like other times) and when my husband got home I was incredibly dissapointed. He said they were busy and looked disarrayed but it doesn't give them an excuse for giving us ****. The bartender ignored my husband when he tried to tell them he was there to pick up and saw the order come out and only after our order was sitting there for a while did he finally ask what he was there for. Now that's whatever as long as this pregnant lady gets her food. I eagerly open the box and what do I find? A few sweet potato fries, the avocado smothered on the burger soaking the bun, and no pickle. The bun was falling apart as soon as I tried to pick it up so I ate it with a fork and knife. Even the sauce cup barely had any sauce but enough I guess for the meager portion of fries I got! This makes me sad as we're regulars. That will no longer be true.<br/ <br/ <br/ 01 Aug, 2014 <br/ <br/ West coast burger sweet potato fries. I have gotten the west coast burger and sweet potato fries every single time I've gone there and my boyfriend has now copied my choice. I'm sure the other burgers are good too but if I have a craving for Huey's, that's what I get. Their onion rings are also good and huge but they are the type that the onion slips straight out of the breading. The lemon box cake thing made me very happy. If you want to go to any Huey's, the midtown location is the one to go to! Don't go to the downtown site. They were really rude both times we stopped by to get a to go order when we were on our bikes."
